Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Martin Buchan is reckoned to be Britain's youngest professional skier - at the age of 13 !! And he's not a bad rugby player either. Quite a lad.
Quote:
Buchan is dubbed Britain’s "youngest professional skier". Of course he still attends school but he is also part of the Line Skis/Nike ACG team. "I was ten when I really started to like skiing," he says, in a manner suggesting that this seems a lifetime ago. Which it probably does.
"I had done race training but when I saw other people jumping at Hillend I tried to copy them and that’s really how I got into freestyle skiing. By 2001 I was taking it quite seriously and I got some sponsors. Then they went bust. So I wrote to Line and they started sponsoring me in 2002. Since then I’ve also picked up Nike ACG. It’s freestyle that I love.
And from his coach...
Quote:
"He has so much potential and if he gets time to concentrate on the sport then he’ll fulfil that," Asquith continues. "What is in his favour is that he learnt the basics through race training first; that has given him a platform. A lot of kids just go and throw themselves off jumps, but most good skiers have a history of ski racing, or race training - and Murray is a very good skier.
